“We’re reflecting on mortality,” adds bassist\/vocalist Troy Sanders. “To that end, the album ties into our entire discography. It’s 17 years in the making, but it’s also a direct reaction to the last two years. We tend to draw inspiration from very real things in our lives.”<\/p>\n

‘Emperor Of Sand’ was recorded at The Quarry Recording Studio in Kennesaw, just outside Mastodon’s hometown of Atlanta, with producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Neil Young, AC\/DC, Rage Against The Machine), who first worked with Mastodon on their seminal 2009 album ‘Crack The Skye’.<\/p>\n
